But for hells sakes for sometihng thats such a big part of the gmaes and novels we no very littel of them... The hunters that is. We dont even no anything of how they came to be covey controled besides a simple title called tameing of the hunters lol. So what do we now of them besides the big orange worms creautres with armour and fire power that rivails a medium class tank?

Well, if you want to get into it, were did the Elites, Prophets and the Grunts come from, and how did they band together to FORM the Covenant?

Childern please, this fellow man was specificly asking about our beasts the hunters. No need for flaming him over a simple matter, and I for one agree with him I am more intreseted about hunters than any other extension of the Covenant. No need for flaming here today.

i agree, a normal marine would probably die from a fist fight with a prophet.. odd that the only way for us to have a chance is to genetically enhance ourselves.. mmm were pathetic.

Not too sure about unarmed combat...we really don't know their phsicall streangth, and the strongest marine can beat down a blue elite...

if u have the bonus dvd then u should know about the prophets and elites

look they were fighting long ago and as they were fighting they stumbled upon a structure a massive structure the were stund and the both races wanted to know more about it so they formed an aliance and as the aliance went on the found a planet with massive beasts worm like according to halopedia.org and the beasts were called lelekoo or something like that and later on called hunters by the unsc. now the reason why they alied with the covies is the prophets were going to bomb there planet if they didnt surrender. that fight was called the taming of the hunters. now the grunts the covies found another planet with unngoy on it"grunts" but the surrendered quickly but they had enough of the prophets so they rebelled and nearly won but they were captured and there planet was destoyed this was the grunt rebellion. and that is the end of my knowledge of this.

Well actually the Prophets used to fight the Elites so they must have been powerful.

"Like what"
"Maybe someone up there was wondering what it's like here"
"I guess, do you think will ever meet them"

We do. I read an article on Wikipedia.

Hunters= subdued by the Elites; joined from threat of glassing their planet. Arbiter died doing this.

Rest are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Covenant

On the bottom, there are are other links, including speculation on the Halo 3 trailer.

The best group for fan-fics ever made!
wanna be part of the Wrath?
arguments turn into battles and battles turn into wars,dismantle the arguments and everything is fine.

The limeted edition of Halo 2 has a deleted scene that shows how the elites and prophets formed the covenent. I guess everyone else joined or surrendered by working under the two species' command.
